“UAD 3.6 isn’t the end of the form, it’s the beginning of a smarter process.”

In this special episode of Appraisers on Purpose, guests Matthew Hyatt, Hansel Dobbs, and Gynell Vestal come together to break down what may be the biggest transformation in residential appraisal since the 1004 form was first introduced.

Forget fear, this trio sees UAD 3.6 not as a burden, but as an invitation to evolve.

They reveal how this new reporting structure shifts appraisers away from just “filling in boxes” toward truly thinking through their valuation process. It’s not about compliance for compliance’s sake, it’s about becoming better at what we do.

Matt shares how the new dynamic form is pushing appraisers to upgrade their tools, rethink workflows, and lean on AI-powered support like never before. Gynell and Hansel highlight the opportunities for those willing to lead rather than lag, especially those ready to embrace structure, specialization, and innovation.

Yes, the learning curve is real. But so is the potential.

This episode isn’t just a technical walkthrough. It’s a hopeful vision of what appraisal can become—more thoughtful, more empowered, and more professional than ever.

🎧 Tune in to hear how three forward-thinking appraisers are navigating change, embracing challenge, and preparing to lead the future of valuation.
